Bayhead traffic congestion cleared
Transnet says congestion along routes in the vicinity of Bayhead, south of Durban, has been sorted out.
Traffic jams stretched for kilometres for days after a container truck overturned on Bayhead Road last week.
Transnet says a network outage at a private bulk terminal extended the delays.
Port of Durban General Manager, Moshe Motlohi says the backlog's been cleared thanks to - among other things - assistance from terminal operators who opened up their staging areas.

"But I am grateful to the metro police and SAPS for the sterling work that they have done over the period," says Motlohi.
